FAQ

The Renata França massage method is known worldwide for its Manual Lymphatic Drainage. It is also at the origin of the creation of Shaping massage and Miracle Face. These treatments, straight from Brazil, promise you stunning results. Renata Franca creates new types of maneuvers that produce more effective results than those of traditional massages on the silhouette or the oval of the face. Its customers are unanimous: the effects are “miraculous”. These words gave the name of its star treatments Miracle Touch (combination of drainage and Shaping massage) and Miracle Face (face massage).

Sometimes toxins, waste products build up in our tissues and cause swelling, edema or cellulite storage. These waste products are carried by lymph, a fluid circulating through a network of lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes. For different reasons: a sedentary lifestyle, a lack of sleep, a bad diet, a lack of hydration, hormonal disorders, heart failure venous or lymphatic insufficiency, a genetic problem, an imbalance of the thyroid…, or still an emotional shockIt happens that the lymphatic system can no longer drain excess fluids, creating stasis/retention.

The lymphatic system is our body’s “sewerage system’’. It maintains fluid levels in our body tissues by removing all fluids that leak out of our blood vessels. The lymphatic system is important for the optimal  functioning of our general specific immune system.

The manual lymphatic drainage of the Renata Franca method:

activates the lymphatic and venous system both providing immediate benefits:

Great question! Prior to your massage, we ask that you hydrate yourself. For most, this means drinking more water than usual. Chugging/gulping water is not recommended as it can make you feel heavy and bloated during your massage. We also recommend that any meals you have before your session be light.

After your massage, keep hydrating yourself- lymphatic massages tend to dehydrate, so you will need to combat this in order to allow the best results from the massage. Avoiding alcohol and greasy, salty foods for 24-48 hours post-massage is recommended, as these will only halt the flushing of your lymphatic system.

We recommend: 
 

As part of support for weight loss, fibrous, fat cellulite or big retention, we recommend one session per week for 5 weeks and a one-session maintenance every 4-weeks.  one session per month to boost your immunity.

It is recommended to do a lymphatic drainage session before starting the sculpting. A personal treatment plan is made during your first appointment. Together, we determine your expectations and establish a program to achieve your goals
